I guess you missed the part in the bible where prophecy concerning the resurrection of the messiah explicitly state that his body would be raised up before it started to decay.
"For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption." - Psalm 16:10
Then either Psalm 16:10 is wrong (and therefore not a prophecy) or Jesus was not the messiah, since (as SD pointed out) a body dead for three days is going to be at least partly decayed.
So, which way will you have it: Is the Psalm wrong, or are the NT accounts in Mark and Matthew both wrong?

Neither are wrong.

Quote:About three hours after death, rigor mortis -- a stiffening of muscles -- sets in. Around 12 hours after death, the body will feel cool, and within 24 hours (depending on body fat and external temperatures), it will lose all internal heat in a process called algor mortis. The muscle tissue begins to lose its stiffness after about 36 hours, and within about 72 hours of dying, the body's rigor mortis will subside.
As the cells die, bacteria within the body begin breaking them down. Enzymes in the pancreas cause the organ to digest itself. The body soon takes on a gruesome appearance and smell. Decomposing tissue emits a green substance, as well as gasses such as methane and hydrogen sulfide. The lungs expel fluid through the mouth and nose.
If you recall the story of Lazarus, he didn't start to stink until four days....
"Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days." - John 11:39

Can you provide any sources for this?
